When http:://Feedly.com doesn’t start with any more: start it through https://Feedly.com (via: @feedly your news. delivered.)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/16

Recently when starting Feedly through http://feedly.com, I got this message in Chrome on my Retina MacBook Pro:

Is feedly blocked?

Feedly is not able to load. It is probably because one of your extensions is blocking it. If you run Adblock, HTTPSEverywhere, Awesome screenshot etc.. please make sure that feedly.com is white listed.

Ask a question

I paused AdBlock: same thing. I don’t use HTTPSEverywhere or the other tools mentioned.

Solution: start using https://feedly.com. Since I prefer https anyway, I can live with that (: Read the rest of this entry »

Too bad the Dutch Lifehacking posting of March 15, 2014 didn’t link back to the original Funders and Founders Notes – How to Be Productive by Anna Vital.

Not just because credit where credit is due, but especially since Funders and Founders Notes have lots of useful infographs.

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/15

The BitSavers /pdf/apple/apple_I directory now contains a PDF of the Apple I Cassette Interface Documentation.

Awesome history (:

It even has this very old Apple address on it:

 

APPLE COMPUTER COMPANY
770 Welch Road,
Suite 154
Palo Alto,
California 94304
Phone: (415) 326-4248 

 

(both the address and phone now have different owners now).
